4 e-bike highlights
Lavaux:
A UNESCO-Protected Vineyard Landscape
This opening day captures one of the most elegant landscapes in French-speaking Switzerland. Starting from Lutry, the ride winds through the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a UNESCO-protected area overlooking Lake Geneva. The route passes through emblematic villages such as Riex, Epesses, Chexbres and Saint-Saphorin, where stone walls, vines and panoramic lake views create a setting that feels both cultivated and timeless.
The day combines scenery with local flavour and architectural interest. Guests may pause in Epesses for a snack, enjoy lunch in Chexbres, and continue down towards Corsier to discover Le Corbusier’s Villa “Le Lac”, an intimate and remarkable example of modernist architecture. Later, back in Riex, the experience becomes even more rooted in place with a tasting hosted by a local wine producer. The return to Lausanne follows alternative paths through the vineyards, ensuring that the day remains immersive from beginning to end rather than feeling like a simple loop.
Lake Joux:
Swiss Watchmaking and Jura Landscapes
This day offers a very different atmosphere, shaped by the quiet beauty of the Vallée de Joux and the strong identity of the Swiss Jura. Guests begin in Le Pont, then cycle around Lake Joux via Les Charbonnières and Le Sentier, in a landscape known for its calm waters, high valley scenery and unspoilt natural character. It is one of the most distinctive settings in the canton of Vaud.
The route is enriched by two strong cultural and gastronomic moments. First comes a visit to the Espace Horloger Museum, where the region’s deep connection to Swiss watchmaking is brought into focus. Lunch can then be taken at the modern Restaurant des Horlogers in Le Brassus, associated with the world of fine watchmaking. In the afternoon, the ride becomes more alpine again, climbing towards the Jura ridges and stopping at a chalet in the Monts de Bière for a Gruyère cheese tasting before the final ascent to the Marchairuz Pass. The descent via the old Glacière road to Saint-George provides a strong and memorable finish before returning to Lausanne by minibus.
La Côte:
Vineyards, Castles and Manor Houses
This itinerary explores La Côte, the largest wine-growing region in the canton of Vaud, between Nyon and Morges. Beginning in the village of Begnins, the route follows small vineyard roads through a series of elegant wine villages including Luins, Vinzel, Bursins, Gilly, Tartegnin, Bugnaux, Bougy and Féchy. Throughout the ride, guests enjoy wide views over Lake Geneva, the Alps and, on clear days, Mont Blanc.
What makes this day especially attractive is its richness of heritage. The region is dotted with castles, manor houses and historic estates, giving the route a distinctly aristocratic and cultivated atmosphere. Lunch in Aubonne adds another layer of character, in a town known for its unusual oriental tower linked to the 18th-century traveller Tavernier. In the afternoon, the ride continues with a stop at the remarkable Aubonne Valley Arboretum, a vast and unique botanical park, before moving on through Saint-Livres, Lavigny, Etoy and Saint-Prex, whose medieval old town makes for a charming final detour before the return to Lausanne.
Romainmôtier:
Countryside Heritage Between Lake and Jura
The final Lausanne ride is broader in scope and ties together many of the landscapes that define the region: lake, vineyards, countryside and the foothills of the Jura. Guests are dropped near Vufflens-le-Château, where the day begins with views of a striking medieval castle overlooking vineyards and Lake Geneva. From there, the route follows peaceful country lanes through open farmland, villages and rolling scenery.
The ride then passes Château de Vullierens, known for its gardens, before continuing through the rural heart of the canton. One of the highlights is a short walk down to the Tine de Conflens, an impressive gorge carved by the Venoge River, which adds a more unexpected and dramatic natural feature to the day. The route finally reaches Romainmôtier, one of the region’s great heritage sites, giving the journey a calm and deeply atmospheric conclusion. It is an excellent final day because it does not rely on spectacle alone: it leaves guests with a stronger sense of the land, its rhythm and its cultural depth.
